Maytag built its reputation on heavy-duty laundry appliances, and its top-load washers, dryers, and dishwashers show up often in Colony homes. Our technicians know Maytag's Commercial Technology washers and standard lineup, and carry the right parts on the truck.
Here's what tends to go wrong on each type of Maytag appliance, and the service page to visit for the full breakdown and cost guide.
| Appliance | Most common failure | Full repair guide |
|---|---|---|
| Washer (top-load HE) | Low water level not fully wetting the load, and worn tub bearings causing a grinding noise. | Washer repair |
| Washer (front-load) | Excess suds errors and drain pump filter clogs on Commercial Technology models. | Washer repair |
| Dryer | Seized drum bearings or a blocked blower wheel triggering a current-draw error. | Dryer repair |
| Dishwasher | Similar failure points to other Whirlpool-family brands — drain pumps and door latches. | Dishwasher repair |
| Refrigerator | Shares parts and platforms with Whirlpool models — see our Whirlpool repair page for details. | Whirlpool repair |
Maytag's HE top-load washers use less water than older agitator-style machines to save energy, which some owners notice as clothes not looking fully saturated mid-cycle. This is normal HE operation in most cases — but a load that comes out with visible dry patches or hasn't been cleaned properly is worth having checked.
A quick reference for the Maytag washer and dryer codes we're asked about most.
| Code | Appliance | What it usually means |
|---|---|---|
| Sud / Sd | Washer | Too many suds detected — usually from non-HE detergent or too much soap. |
| LF | Washer (top-load) | The washer is taking too long to fill — check the water supply valves. |
| lid / LID | Washer (top-load) | The lid lock isn't engaging or releasing correctly. |
| PF | Washer & Dryer | A power interruption occurred during the cycle — press Start to resume. |
| CE | Dryer | Abnormal current draw — check for a seized drum bearing or blocked blower wheel. |
Front-load and top-load Maytag washers use slightly different code sets. If a code isn't listed here, we can identify it during the diagnostic visit.

HE top-load washers use significantly less water than older agitator machines by design, which can look like clothes aren't fully saturated mid-cycle. This is usually normal — but if items come out visibly dry or still dirty, it's worth a diagnostic visit.
CE stands for a current error, meaning the motor is drawing abnormal current. This usually points to a seized drum bearing or an object blocking the blower wheel.
It means the machine detected too many suds, most often from using regular detergent instead of HE detergent, or simply using too much. Running an extra rinse cycle usually clears it.
Maytag has built its reputation around heavy-duty laundry appliances, and Commercial Technology models are engineered for higher-cycle durability. Like any brand, individual parts still wear out over time and benefit from regular maintenance.
We use OEM parts whenever they're available for your model, sourced through standard appliance parts distributors, and will tell you upfront if a repair calls for anything different.
Maytag shares some control boards, motors, and platforms with other Whirlpool Corporation brands, but Maytag also has its own distinct models like Commercial Technology washers with their own specific parts and error codes.
